Just bought this very nice little vase which I think might possibly be Isle of Wight Studio Glass.  Unfortunately it isn't signed.
The nearest I can find are some IoWSG pieces in their 'Blossom' or 'Blossom Tree' range, but I haven't come across one in this delicate gold colour way (so far).
Am I anywhere near in my guess please?
TIA  ;)

It's definitely IoWSG, you have a bit of "Buttercups and Daisies" "Wild Garden".
I have the 2007 Collections catalogue in my sticky mitts and it's in there, described as a lipped vase, the small one, WG7 (9.5cm diameter) retailed at £92.60.
Your's looks bigger than that! The 13.5 cm one was £117.25, the 18cm one, £219.70.

Thank you so much Sue :-*  Much appreciated.
I've measured it and its the small size.

You have such dainty hands, they made it look bigger. :-*
(I can't find what blossom looks like now!) but your vase has the coloured applied rim and is the correct colours of flowers for buttercups and daisies and is illustrated in front of me. It's correct.

Wild Garden forget-me-not bowl (no trailed rim, colour is on foot instead).

Not a shape illustrated in the 2007 catalogue.  :)
"Wild Garden" only gets a mention in the text of the book, I don't know any more about it.
